Paywall can be bypassed by opening link in an incognito window, FYI.

I'd love it if this could be the default in browsers. I want to select individually which sites should be allowed to store any type of state.

Firefox, Chrome et al exist to serve ads. That's where they get their funding. That's who pulls the strings. Turning off cookies would kill that model for revenue.

uncheck "Accept cookies from websites" and then individually set your allowed sites in "Exceptions"

You're spot on for Chrome, but I don't think you're familiar with Firefox and the Mozilla foundation.

What are people getting out of this article?

For me, it read like a typical album review that has no point besides getting clicks from people who mistakenly look for insight from entertainment.

the Jeff Dean of the rap game...

I 100% agree, and he is needed more now than ever as rap/hip hop are becoming diluted by non AA cultures. I remember the first time I heard To Pimp A Butterfly. I instantly got the feeling that this was made for us (AA). I have not felt that way since the first time I listened to "Makaveli". If anyone reading is not familiar with some of K.'s earlier work you should go checkout Hol Up, ADHD and rigamortis.
